NCP / Nature Coast Publishers' Service

I've been receiving calls from this number for at least a week, but when I call back, it sends me straight to a tone. This time, I answered and was told that because of my relationship with "the publishers," I was eligble for a $1000 online shopping gift certificate and 60 issue subscriptions to 5 national magazines (two of which, I alreay subscribe to, so they clearly weren't in league with the actual publishers). They told me that 3 were free, and 2 would be at a discounted fee of $3.83 a week, to be billed monthly. But their behavior and questions seemed very off. They were clearly in possession of my full name, my phone number, and my address.

The first person, Danielle, failed to adequately answer my questions, claiming she was new. She said she couldn't give me a company name better than NCP, although she started to say Nature Coast, and then corrected herself. She asked what I do for a living and my age, in order to help the publishers better target consumers. I was very skeptical, but she said there were no automatic payments and that some information would come in the mail. Then she told me her supervisor would call back to confirm some information. She said that the order had already been put through and that my order number was.... 1221.

When the gentleman, Nathan, called back momentarily, he repeated the profession and age I gave the first person and asked what the name of my company was and what year I had been born. When I told him that I wanted more information from them before I was willing to give him the information, he said "This is just for the records. I could care less. For all I care, you can make something up." When I continued to question him, he screamed "Ya' know what? We don't need your business," and hung up on me. This is clearly and evidently not normal.

352-684-1280

I did some digging and found that 352-684-1280 is the home phone number for:

Keith D. Rudell MD
4143 Castle Avenue
Spring Hill, FL 34609

Also Owen Rudell and Rosamar Rudell

Whatever this NCP thing is the "employees" must be calling from their homes or stealing masking the caller ID with other people's phone numbers, which might explain why I get a busy signal every time I try to call.

I googled Nature Coast Publications and found a web site:

Iwrote this under customer reviews and if anything comes of this I will submit an update:
Who are you? What do you really do? Where do you do it?
I think this is a scam to get people's credit card numbers. I don't have any, so your "employees" always say I don't qualify for the $1000.00 on-line shopping gift certificate and end the call. And yet they continue to call anyway. Don't your "employees" work off a master call list to eliminate duplication? I have received several calls from different ph#'s. The #'s are individual people's home #'s who live in the Spring Hill/Nature Coast area. How odd! I have tried to call these #'s and I have been getting busy signals all day. Even more strange? Now we move from on to suspicion, I just called 3 of the #'s and the phones just rang and rang. Hmmm, no answering machine or voice mail, in 3 out of 3 #'s, I dont' think so. Also, why is your business # disconnected? A legitimate business always has a contact person and a working #, e-mail address, etc. So, now I will make a call to my state's Attorney General to report my concerns about your company.

Junk Caller... How can I make them stop calling??

I apparently keep getting calls from this number, and they just started today. I don't know how they got my number but its just blank and then they hang up, they dont speak.

What is the point of calling my phone and hanging up after a second or two? What is the reason for this madness? How do I make it stop?

Hey guys,
I've been getting more and more calls like this on my cell phone. I just went to the National Do Not CAll Registry and signed up. I hope it works!

I keep getting phone calls from 352-684-1280 every date,but they hand up and I get a busy answer also.Still don't know who called my cell # and still keep getting calls everyday!

well the reason you gettin a tone when you call back is because your callin an automatic dialer that is just outbound cant get calls in as for calling a doctor i dont know about that now as for the service they provide there is not shoping spree and you will never get magazines theres always gonna be some cheerfull girl trying to pitch you they dont like to hire men we always get fired two weeks later if you a male and working there you most likly gonna be a manager or as the sales person will call them is the supervisor thats the person they send you to when you agreed to the service 1 of the 3 ppl you will talk to is NATHAN COOK, MARK HAMMLON and JEN there was also another named FRANKLYN MCCANN he got fired though the owner of the company is MARC JOHNSON none of them have a tele-marketing licence you should get them all arrested the company needs to get shutdown im currently investigating more offices if you do purchase any of the magazines plz cancel right away another company in collections will call you trying to force you to pay around 1000bucks and cancelin will be a pain in the neck

Most phone companies have a call blocking service. Mine is one of the functions built into the phone. Just put the number(s) into the blocked list and you shouldn't be bothered any more.

Something most people don't know about: Phones can auto-dial. It just goes down a list of numbers looking for a live phone, and hangs up before voice mail kicks in. You can block numbers in your phone, or your phone company, if you have caller id, and know what the number is. If it is really bothersome, get the phone company involved.

You ever do anything?
